769f7bcf3SWarner LoshNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT 5.0-CURRENT IS SLOW:
869f7bcf3SWarner Losh	FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT has many debugging features turned on, in
969f7bcf3SWarner Losh	both the kernel and userland.  These features attempt to detect
1069f7bcf3SWarner Losh	incorrect use of system primitives, and encourage loud failure
1169f7bcf3SWarner Losh	through extra sanity checking and fail stop semantics.  They
1269f7bcf3SWarner Losh	also substantially impact system performance.  If you want to
1369f7bcf3SWarner Losh	do performance measurement, benchmarking, and optimization,
1469f7bcf3SWarner Losh	you'll want to turn them off.  This includes various WITNESS-
1569f7bcf3SWarner Losh	related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc debugging flags
1669f7bcf3SWarner Losh	in userland, and various verbose features in the kernel.  Many
1769f7bcf3SWarner Losh	developers choose to disable these features on build machines
18a19f8ddaSDavid E. O'Brien	to maximize performance.

20fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson20030923:
21fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson	Fix a bug in arplookup(), whereby a hostile party on a locally
22fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson	attached network could exhaust kernel memory, and cause a system
23fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson	panic, by sending a flood of spoofed ARP requests. See
24fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson	FreeBSD-SA-03:14.arp.
25fedf1d01SBruce M Simpson
26db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine20030915:
27db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine	A change to /etc/defaults/rc.conf now causes inetd to be started
28db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine	with `-C 60' if it is not overridden in /etc/rc.conf.  This
29db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine	causes inetd to stop accepting connections from an IP address
30db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine	that exceeds the rate of 60 connections per minute.
31db38f9cbSJacques Vidrine
32c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen20030829:
33c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	The following rc.d scripts have been removed and should be
34c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	deleted from your installation: atm2.sh atm3.sh devdb
35c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	localdaemons network1 network2 network3. Depending on when
36c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	you last updated world and used mergemaster(8) you may or
37c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	may not have problems during the rc boot sequence. The simplest
38c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	solution is an 'rm -rf /etc/rc.d/*' and then 'mergemaster -i'.
39c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	The atm2.sh atm3.sh and devdb scripts were removed some time
40c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	ago, so depending on when you installed -CURRENT these scripts
41c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen	may or may not exist on your system.
42c09d2c2bSMike Makonnen
4317c159dcSSøren Schmidt20030824:
4417c159dcSSøren Schmidt	ATAng has been committed. You need to build world as sys/ata.h
4517c159dcSSøren Schmidt	has changed, and userland atacontrol depends on it.
46f240812bSSøren Schmidt	If you use ATA SW raids you need "device ataraid" in your
47f240812bSSøren Schmidt	kernel config file, as it is no longer pulled in automatically.
4817c159dcSSøren Schmidt
49c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien20030819:
50c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien	The OFW_NEWPCI option has been turned on in the Sparc64 GENERIC kernel.
51c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien	Among other things, this changes the device enumeration to be
52c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien	closer to Solaris.  Be aware that, this can even cause the machine
53c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien	to not boot without manual intervention before the fstab is adjusted.

5538c962e7SNate Lawson20030728:
5638c962e7SNate Lawson	All current USB and Firewire quirks in da(4) have been deprecated
5738c962e7SNate Lawson	and will be removed for 5.2.  If this causes failure for your
5838c962e7SNate Lawson	umass(4) devices, enable "options DA_OLD_QUIRKS" in your kernel
5938c962e7SNate Lawson	and send the output of "camcontrol inquiry da0" to scsi@freebsd.org
6038c962e7SNate Lawson	so the quirk can be re-enabled.
6138c962e7SNate Lawson
62178cf4e9SWarner Losh20030722:
63178cf4e9SWarner Losh	FPU-less support has been removed from FreeBSD.  Chances are you won't
64178cf4e9SWarner Losh	notice.  386+387 support should still work after this change, but
65178cf4e9SWarner Losh	it is now a minimum requirement for the i386 port that you have real
66178cf4e9SWarner Losh	FPU hardware.
67178cf4e9SWarner Losh
68178cf4e9SWarner Losh20030714:
69178cf4e9SWarner Losh	Some people are having problems with changes related to /rescue.
70178cf4e9SWarner Losh	If you are building -j N, you will need to define NO_RESCUE.  Others
71178cf4e9SWarner Losh	will need to define it if /rescue has issues with their environment.
72178cf4e9SWarner Losh	People should report those issues to current@.
73178cf4e9SWarner Losh
74157c629aSWarner Losh20030711:
75157c629aSWarner Losh	gcc was upgraded to 3.3.  You are advised to not build -DNOCLEAN
768b71efcaSCeri Davies	across this point.  Further, it might be a good idea to remove
7705538fa9SWarner Losh	/usr/obj.
78157c629aSWarner Losh
796cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar20030613: [retrospective]
806cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	There was a small window in which sed(1) was broken.  If you
816cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	happen to have sed(1) installed during that window, which is
826cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	evidenced by an inability to build world with the failure
836cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	given below, you need to manually build and install sed(1)
846cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	(and only sed(1)) before doing anything else. This is a one-
856cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	time snafu. Typical failure mode:

956cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar	usr.bin/sed/process.c).
966cc6353fSMarcel Moolenaar
97766c34e4SAndrey A. Chernov20030610:
98766c34e4SAndrey A. Chernov	Remove deprecated locale names and transition period code
99766c34e4SAndrey A. Chernov	for them, finishing switching to the new scheme. Check your
100766c34e4SAndrey A. Chernov	LANG environment variable.
101766c34e4SAndrey A. Chernov
1027ddc2528SPoul-Henning Kamp20030609:
103df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	CCD has been changed to be a fully GEOMified class.  Kernel
104df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	and ccdconfig(8) needs to be in sync, this is particularly
105df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	important to remember beforehand if your source tree is on
106df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	a ccd device.  Consider making a copy of the old ccdconfig
107df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	into /boot/kernel.good or wherever you keep your backup
108df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp	kernel.
109df622d54SPoul-Henning Kamp
11052b47445SMark Murray20030505:
11152b47445SMark Murray	Kerberos 5 (Heimdal) is now built by default. Setting
11252b47445SMark Murray	MAKE_KERBEROS5 no longer has any effect. If you do NOT
11352b47445SMark Murray	want the "base" Kerberos 5, you need to set NO_KERBEROS.
11452b47445SMark Murray
115a26df538SWarner Losh20030502:
116a26df538SWarner Losh	groff has been updated.  If you try to do a buildworld and
117a26df538SWarner Losh	get an infinite loop in troff, update to May 4th or newer.  If you
118a26df538SWarner Losh	have a newer kernel than userland, you may need to set the OSRELDATE
119a26df538SWarner Losh	to 500110 in your environment before starting a buildworld.
120a26df538SWarner Losh
1214b065e2cSDoug Barton20030501:
1224b065e2cSDoug Barton	The old rc system has been removed.  Please report any problems
1234b065e2cSDoug Barton	to freebsd-rc@yahoogroups.com, and/or freebsd-current@freebsd.org.
1244b065e2cSDoug Barton	Your personal versions of these files will not be removed, so you can
1254b065e2cSDoug Barton	continue to use them. However, you should take great care when updating,
1264b065e2cSDoug Barton	especially when using mergemaster, since the compatibility code that
1274b065e2cSDoug Barton	utilizes these old scripts has also been removed.
1284b065e2cSDoug Barton
12981cda3d9SWarner Losh20030423:
13081cda3d9SWarner Losh	A bug has been fixed in /dev/devctl which would cause devd
13181cda3d9SWarner Losh	to hang on boot, were it not for a workaround in devd.  The
13281cda3d9SWarner Losh	work around in devd will be removed around 20030507.  You
13381cda3d9SWarner Losh	have until then to upgrade your kernel before updating
13481cda3d9SWarner Losh	userland.  In general, you should have a userland and
13581cda3d9SWarner Losh	kernel that's in sync with each other.  However, given the
13681cda3d9SWarner Losh	effects of this bug (hang on boot when starting devd), some
13781cda3d9SWarner Losh	allowances are made.
13881cda3d9SWarner Losh
13947a657d1SRuslan Ermilov20030329:
14047a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	Alphas with libc from between 20030312 and 20030329 exhibit
14147a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	floating point exceptions (FPEs), most notably in awk(1)
14247a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	while upgrading the system through a buildworld.
14347a657d1SRuslan Ermilov
14447a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either
14547a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	downgrade your libc.so to a pre-20030312 version, or update
14647a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	/usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk to revision 1.26 which adds -mieee
14747a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	to CFLAGS, then forcibly rebuild and install libc:
14847a657d1SRuslan Ermilov
14947a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	cd /usr/src/lib/libc && \
15047a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	    make cleandir && make obj && \
15147a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	    make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE all && \
15247a657d1SRuslan Ermilov	    make -DNOMAN -DNOPROFILE install
15347a657d1SRuslan Ermilov
1545d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro20030208:
1555d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail 8.12.7 has been imported.  It has one important
1565d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro	change for IPv6 users.  The default submit.mc now uses
1575d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro	'[127.0.0.1]' instead of 'localhost' meaning only IPv4 is
1585d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro	used to connect to the MTA.  Users on IPv6-only machines
1595d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro	will need to edit /etc/mail/submit.mc appropriately.
1605d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro
1615d2af00cSGregory Neil Shapiro20030128:
1629db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp	NODEVFS option has been removed and DEVFS thereby made standard.
163ca22e652SJens Schweikhardt	This makes all references to MAKEDEV obsolete, and they should
1649db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp	be removed when convenient.
1659db58771SPoul-Henning Kamp
1668d9b3f57SJake Burkholder20030126:
1678d9b3f57SJake Burkholder	The name of the device for the ofw console has changed, sparc64 users
1688d9b3f57SJake Burkholder	must run mergemaster to update their installed /etc/ttys.
1698d9b3f57SJake Burkholder
1701c5efda5SJeff Roberson20030125:
1711c5efda5SJeff Roberson	The scheduler framework has grown a second scheduler and consequently
1721c5efda5SJeff Roberson	you must specify one and only one scheduler in your kernel config.
173ca22e652SJens Schweikhardt	The cvs config files have been updated to use the old scheduler
1741c5efda5SJeff Roberson	which may be selected via 'options SCHED_4BSD'.  If you would like
1751c5efda5SJeff Roberson	to try the new, much more experimental, scheduler please try
1761c5efda5SJeff Roberson	'options SCHED_ULE' and contribute to the arch@ discussion.
1771c5efda5SJeff Roberson
1789d1d64f5SWarner Losh20030115:
1799d1d64f5SWarner Losh	A new version of the wi driver has been imported into the tree.
1809d1d64f5SWarner Losh	One now must have device wlan in the config file for it to operate
1819d1d64f5SWarner Losh	properly.
1829d1d64f5SWarner Losh
183c9fdb80aSWarner Losh	In addition, there have been some changes to how wi devices are
184c9fdb80aSWarner Losh	configured for point to point links to bring it more in line
185c9fdb80aSWarner Losh	with the former way of doing things, as well as compatibility
186c9fdb80aSWarner Losh	with NetBSD.
187c9fdb80aSWarner Losh
188161dc364SAlexander Kabaev20021222:
189161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	For a period after the GCC 3.2.1 import (from 12/04 to 12/22), GCC
190161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	used an incompatible form of ABI for returning structures and unions
191161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	which FreeBSD's GCC maintainers were not aware of relative to previous
192161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	versions of FreeBSD.  We have gone back to the ABI for now, and any
193161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	code compiled which is required to interoperate with other code (not
194161dc364SAlexander Kabaev 	built at the same time) returning structs or unions should be
19584cc83efSAlexander Kabaev	rebuilt.
196161dc364SAlexander Kabaev
197fb4c8061SMartin Blapp20021216:
198fb4c8061SMartin Blapp	A name change in /etc/netconfig has been reverted to stay
19989056245SJens Schweikhardt	compatible with suns TIRPC and also with NetBSD. You need
200fb4c8061SMartin Blapp	to run mergemaster after make world. A new libc does still work
2019d5abbddSJens Schweikhardt	with an outdated /etc/netconfig for some time, but you'll get
202fb4c8061SMartin Blapp	a warning. This warning will be removed in 20030301.
203fb4c8061SMartin Blapp
20417d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas20021202:
20517d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas	The recent binutils upgrade marks a kernel flag day on
20617d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas	sparc64: modules built with the old binutils will not work
20717d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas	with new kernels and vice versa. Mismatches will result in
20817d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas	panics.  Make sure your kernel and modules are in sync.
20917d47eb3SGiorgos Keramidas
210a4459294SBill Fenner20021029:
211a4459294SBill Fenner	The value of IPPROTO_DIVERT has changed.  Make sure to keep
212a4459294SBill Fenner	your kernel, netstat, natd and any third-party DIVERT
213a4459294SBill Fenner	consumers in sync.
214a4459294SBill Fenner
215fc8c157fSWarner Losh20021024:
216c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	Old, compatibility slices have been removed in GEOM kernels.
217c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	This means that you will have to update your /etc/fstab to
218c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	not use disk devices of the form /dev/ad0a.  Instead, you
219c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	now must specify /dev/ad0s1a, or whatever slice your FreeBSD
220c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	partition really is on.  The old device names have gone
221c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	away, so if you use them anywhere else, you must also adjust
222c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	those uses.  (This doesn't affect the disks formatted in
223c57404feSRuslan Ermilov	the ``dangerously-dedicated'' mode.)
22469f7bcf3SWarner Losh
225fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin20021023:
226fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	Alphas with kernels from between 20020830 and 20021023 and/or
227fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	rtld (ld-elf.so.1) older than 20021023 may experience problems
228fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	with groff while doing a buildworld (kernel: "out of memory",
229fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	fixed in rev 1.129 of kern/imgact_elf.c; rtld: "too few PT_LOAD
230fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	segments", fixed in rev 1.8 of libexec/rtld-elf/map_object.c).
231fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin
232fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	So, to successfully upgrade your Alpha, you must either
233fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	upgrade your kernel and rtld first (which might be a bit
234fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	tricky), or avoid running the bootstrapped groff during the
235fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	"transitional" buildworld.  To avoid running groff during the
236fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	transitional upgrade run make buildworld with -DNOMAN,
237fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin	-DNO_SHAREDOCS, and -DNO_LPR.
238fd9e8bdaSAndrew Gallatin
239f8a4c901SWarner Losh20020831:
240f8a4c901SWarner Losh	gcc has been upgraded to 3.2.  It is not all binary compatible
241f8a4c901SWarner Losh	with earlier versions of gcc for c++ programs.  All c++
242f8a4c901SWarner Losh	programs and libraries need to be recompiled.
243f8a4c901SWarner Losh
244f8a4c901SWarner Losh	Also, if you encounter g++ issues, rm /usr/include/g++/* before
245f8a4c901SWarner Losh	doing an installworld to make sure that stale files are removed.
246f8a4c901SWarner Losh
247c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt20020827:
248c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt	Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm
249c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt	almost unchanged. This means xterm now supports color by default.
250c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt	If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use
251c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt	TERM=xterm. (xterm-color will lead to benign warnings).
252c2248fa2SJens Schweikhardt
2530d533e43SRuslan Ermilov20020815:
2540d533e43SRuslan Ermilov	A "bug" in gcc(1) that was hiding warning in system headers was
2550d533e43SRuslan Ermilov	fixed.  It's probably time to add -DNO_WERROR to your make line
2560d533e43SRuslan Ermilov	again.
2570d533e43SRuslan Ermilov
25833c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov20020729:
25933c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov	COPY is being deprecated.  The 20010530 change was reverted, as
26033c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov	it causes far more pain than was expected, and to always compare
26133c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov	before installing, please use INSTALL="install -C" again.  The
26233c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov	-C option is now silently ignored when used with the -d option.
26333c1de7dSRuslan Ermilov
2642b877facSJulian Elischer20020702:
2652b877facSJulian Elischer	Problems with libc_r clients like KDE and GNOME have been resolved.
2662b877facSJulian Elischer	There are still some minor problems with some signals but the
2672b877facSJulian Elischer	system is stable enough for general use again. SMP is less so than UP
2682b877facSJulian Elischer	but each can successfully complete multiple buildworlds.
2692b877facSJulian Elischer	Libkvm needs to be recompiled due to KSE.
2702b877facSJulian Elischer
27106596d37SWarner Losh20020701:
27206596d37SWarner Losh	Now would be a bad time to upgrade.  Something in or near the
27306596d37SWarner Losh	KSE commit totally broke programs using libc_r like KDE and
27406596d37SWarner Losh	GNOME.

283f50caf6fSDavid E. O'Brien	Gcc 3.1 debugging format (cc -g) has changed from STABS to DWARF2.
284f50caf6fSDavid E. O'Brien	Unfortunately our native GDB (at version 4.18) does not understand

3178f35c493SWarner Losh	sendmail 8.12.2 has been imported.  The sendmail binary is no
3188f35c493SWarner Losh	longer a set-user-ID root binary and the infrastructure to support
3198f35c493SWarner Losh	command line mail submission has changed.  Be sure to run
3208f35c493SWarner Losh	mergemaster (especially for updating /etc/rc, /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
3218f35c493SWarner Losh	and /etc/mail) and read /etc/mail/README for more details.
3228f35c493SWarner Losh
323835284beSWarner Losh	Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2, a new user and group are
324835284beSWarner Losh	required in order for sendmail to run as a set-group-ID
325835284beSWarner Losh	binary.  A 'make installworld' will use the new user and group
326835284beSWarner Losh	to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue and will
327835284beSWarner Losh	fail if the new user and group do not exist.  The 'smmsp' user
328835284beSWarner Losh	and group must be merged from src/etc/group and
329835284beSWarner Losh	src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'.
330835284beSWarner Losh	'mergemaster -p' will do this.  You may need to install
331835284beSWarner Losh	mergemaster before this will work if you are updating from a
332835284beSWarner Losh	very old version of current.  The updating recipe has changed

351514318a8SWarner Losh	sys/i4b/driver/i4b_ispppsubr.c has been retired.  This file
352514318a8SWarner Losh	started out its life in the ISDN4BSD project as an offspring
353514318a8SWarner Losh	from sys/net/if_spppsubr.c, which eventually got a life of its
354514318a8SWarner Losh	own.  All the accumulated features and bugfixes of the i4b
355514318a8SWarner Losh	version have now been merged back into the base system's
356514318a8SWarner Losh	version now.  The only user-visible change resulting from this
357514318a8SWarner Losh	is that i4b's sppp(4) interfaces are to be managed with
358514318a8SWarner Losh	spppcontrol(8) again, since ispppcontrol(8) has been retired
359514318a8SWarner Losh	as well.  (There has never been rc file support for
360514318a8SWarner Losh	ispppcontrol in -current, but only in -stable.  That will be
361514318a8SWarner Losh	reverted by the time the changes are MFCed.)

364514318a8SWarner Losh	The fdc(4) driver has been updated and now automatically

367514318a8SWarner Losh	default device node (e. g. /dev/fd0).  The old variety of
368514318a8SWarner Losh	floppy device nodes /dev/fd*.* is no longer present by
369514318a8SWarner Losh	default, devices can be created (in DEVFS) on demand.  They

3849bab8c59SWarner Losh20011204:
3859bab8c59SWarner Losh	sos added VCD/SVCD support to ata driver and that needs the

388e57d8b01SWarner Losh20011203:
389e57d8b01SWarner Losh	The procfs pseudo-filesystem has now been converted to use the

4171fe003b6SWarner Losh20011027:
4181fe003b6SWarner Losh	Due to changes in other parts of the system, the asr driver
4191fe003b6SWarner Losh	now causes the system to panic on boot.  Do not use it pending

4231fe003b6SWarner Losh20011025:
4241fe003b6SWarner Losh	When crossbuilding, use TARGET=xxx where you used to use
4251fe003b6SWarner Losh	MACHINE=xxx.  You don't need to set TARGET_ARCH and TARGET,
4261fe003b6SWarner Losh	unless you are changing both of them.  To cross build pc98 on
4271fe003b6SWarner Losh	an alpha, for example, you need to set TARGET=pc98 and
4281fe003b6SWarner Losh	TARGET_ARCH=i386.

430d05f9643SWarner Losh20011001:
431d05f9643SWarner Losh	The kernel interface that burncd depends on has changed.
432d05f9643SWarner Losh	You must recompile both the kernel and userland applications

43658970f85SWarner Losh	When crossbuilding, please set TARGET_ARCH rather than
43758970f85SWarner Losh	MACHINE_ARCH to indicate the target.  In the future, one will
43858970f85SWarner Losh	set TARGET_MACHINE where you set MACHINE now.  At the moment,
43958970f85SWarner Losh	setting MACHINE alone for same MACHINE_ARCH machines works
4409d5abbddSJens Schweikhardt	(eg, you can build pc98 on an i386 machine and vice versa).

44858970f85SWarner Losh
44958970f85SWarner Losh	Alternatively, you can remove it from /boot/kernel/acpi.ko
45058970f85SWarner Losh	or use the MODULES_OVERRIDE function in your kernel config
45158970f85SWarner Losh	file and not list acpi in that list.

5566ccdb5e4SWarner Losh	pccard support for pci cards has been committed.  You must change
5576ccdb5e4SWarner Losh	your /etc/pccard.conf irq lines.  It must match the irq used by

5613590182eSWarner Losh	You must also install a new pccardd, otherwise you will get an
5623590182eSWarner Losh	interrupt storm at card reset time (just after it tells you what

5643590182eSWarner Losh
5653590182eSWarner Losh	pccardd_flags="-I" is necessary for the time being.  It tells pccardd
5663590182eSWarner Losh	not to ask the kernel if the interrupt is really free or not before
5673590182eSWarner Losh	using it.  You can either change the /etc/pccard.conf irq lines to

11212b8dd5f4SWarner Losh	The method that we brand ELF binaries has changed to be more
1122f699bbbbSMark Ovens	acceptable to the binutils maintainers.  You will need to
11232b8dd5f4SWarner Losh	rebrand your ELF binaries that aren't native.  One problem
11242b8dd5f4SWarner Losh	binary is the Linux ldconfig.  After your make world, but
11252c021c6cSMark Ovens	before you reboot, you'll need to issue:
11262b8dd5f4SWarner Losh		brandelf -t Linux /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig
11272b8dd5f4SWarner Losh	if you have Linux compatibility enabled on your machine.

1139f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh	style PCI or ISA drivers (i.e. tx, voxware, etc.) you must
1140f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh	include the appropriate option in your kernel config.  Drivers
1141f8ab1dd6SWarner Losh	using the shims should be updated or they won't ship with

114619cada77SWarner Losh	Large kernel changes are being committed and are in the
114719cada77SWarner Losh	works.  It is important to keep the systems' klds and kernel

11536d23c382SWarner Losh	If you are upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD, you

1165a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
1166a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
1167a24eff53SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  From time to time in the
1168a24eff53SWarner Losh	past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or
1169a24eff53SWarner Losh	installworld.  This is especially true when upgrading between
1170a24eff53SWarner Losh	"distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary
1171a24eff53SWarner Losh	or several minor releases, or when several months have passed
1172a24eff53SWarner Losh	on the -current branch).
1173a24eff53SWarner Losh
11745780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
11755780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
11765780f3baSWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.
11775780f3baSWarner Losh	To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room",
11785780f3baSWarner Losh	prefix all make commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual
11795780f3baSWarner Losh	page for more details.

1181dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1182dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1183ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
1184f699bbbbSMark Ovens	a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1185ba01eb20SWarner Losh	/usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
11861e159248SWarner Losh	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

1219f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	--------------------------------------------------
1220f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1221f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition

1243f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy
1244f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to current
1245f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	----------------------------------------------
12465c195f59SWarner Losh	# 5.x uses more space than 4.x.  Also, the location of kernel
12475c195f59SWarner Losh	# modules has changed.  If you are installing 5.0 onto a 4.x
12485c195f59SWarner Losh	# system, you'll need about 30MB of free disk space on your /
12495c195f59SWarner Losh	# partition.  If you have less than this, you may encounter difficult
1250ca22e652SJens Schweikhardt	# to back out of problems with this procedure.  If /tmp is on
1251f643de42SWarner Losh	# the / partition, you may want to completely remove all its content
1252f643de42SWarner Losh	# before upgrading, as this can be a common source of shortage of
1253f643de42SWarner Losh	# space on /.
1254f643de42SWarner Losh
1255f643de42SWarner Losh	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>

125721c075eaSWarner Losh	make buildworld					[9]
1258c74fe6afSWarner Losh	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE	[8]
1259d2125802SWarner Losh	cp src/sys/${MACHINE}/conf/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints [2]

1268ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1269ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1270fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1271fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1272fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1273fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1274fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1275ba26da8eSWarner Losh
12761dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
12771dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
12781dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
12791dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
12801dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
12811dece4a9SWarner Losh
1282134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1283134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1284134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1285134d2e86SWarner Losh
12869c1a7444SWarner Losh	[2] If you have legacy ISA devices, you may need to create
12879c1a7444SWarner Losh	your own device.hints to reflect your unique hardware
12889c1a7444SWarner Losh	configuration.
12899c1a7444SWarner Losh
1290ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1291ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1292ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1293ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
1294ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		cd /usr/src
129547d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1296f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1297f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1298b705ae10SWarner Losh	For the 4.x -> 5.0 upgrade, you will also see many messages about
1299b705ae10SWarner Losh	needing to recompile your userland.  These are harmless and can
1300b705ae10SWarner Losh	be ignored while you proceed to the next step.
1301ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1302a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1303a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1304a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1305a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1306a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
1307a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	for potential gotchas.
1308a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
1309835284beSWarner Losh	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1310835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1311835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1312835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1313835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
1314835284beSWarner Losh	from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408.
1315835284beSWarner Losh
1316bd79cf40SWarner Losh	[6] 4.x boot loader can be used to boot a 5.x system, however
1317bd79cf40SWarner Losh	it is difficult to do that at best.  If you wish to try, then
1318bd79cf40SWarner Losh	you should interrupt the boot and at the ok prompt type:
1319bd79cf40SWarner Losh		ok unload
1320bd79cf40SWarner Losh		ok boot /boot/kernel/kernel
1321bd79cf40SWarner Losh	If this fails to work, you must install a new boot loader as
1322bd79cf40SWarner Losh	described here.
1323fc8c157fSWarner Losh
1324fc8c157fSWarner Losh	[7] Before you upgrade, please make sure that you are not using
1325fc8c157fSWarner Losh	compatibility slices.  These are device names of the form, on i386
1326fc8c157fSWarner Losh	and other architectures that use MBR slicing, /dev/ad0a without the
1327fc8c157fSWarner Losh	actual slice name.  Chances are excellent that these will break.
1328fc8c157fSWarner Losh	You generally must update these entries to use the post FreeBSD
1329fc8c157fSWarner Losh	2.x form of /dev/ad0s1a.
1330fc8c157fSWarner Losh
1331c74fe6afSWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries
1332c74fe6afSWarner Losh	needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4
1333c74fe6afSWarner Losh	option in your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system
1334c74fe6afSWarner Losh	that is hard to boot to recover.
1335c74fe6afSWarner Losh
133621c075eaSWarner Losh	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
133721c075eaSWarner Losh	cvs prune empty directories.
